Synopsis
Excerpt from Differential and Integral Calculus
The present volume is the outgrowth of the requirements for students in engineering and science in Cornell University, for whom a somewhat brief but adequate introduction to the Calculus is prescribed.
The guiding principle in the selection and presentation of the topics in the following pages has been the ever increasing pressure on the present-day curriculum, especially in applied science, to limit the study of mathematics to a minimum of time and to the topics that are deemed of most immediate use to the professional course for which it is preparatory.
To what extent it is wise and justifiable to yield to this pressure it is not our purpose to discuss. But the constantly accumulating details in every pure and applied science makes this attitude a very natural one towards mathematics, as well as towards several other subjects which are subsidiary to the main object of the given course.
This desire to curtail mathematical training is strikingly evidenced by the numerous recent books treating of Calculus for engineers, for chemists, or for various other professional students. Such books have no doubt served a useful purpose in various ways. But we are of the opinion that, in spite of the unquestioned advantages of learning a new method by means of its application to a specific field, a student would ordinarily acquire too vague and inaccurate a command of the fundamental ideas of the Calculus by this one-sided presentation.
